Hi all,
I''m running Puppet on FreeBSD and recently I started building my own
packages. I would like to set the PKGROOT variable on all hosts so
that packages are fetched from my server instead of freebsd.org. Is
it possible to set this with puppet?
I''ve read the suggestion on Trac [1], and it solves the problem when
puppet is run with an rc script, but it won''t work when puppet is run
by hand. I sometimes run puppet by hand, when I don''t have the time
to wait for the scheduled run to apply a change or when I''m
troubleshooting so this doesn''t really fix it for me.
I also experimented with setting source in a package declaration:
in site.pp:
$pkg_source="http://pkg.blah.net/pub/FreeBSD/ports/$hardwaremodel/
packages-$kernelrelease/Latest"
in some class:
package {
"rsync":
ensure => present,
name => rsync,
source => $pkg_source,
}
This kind of works, but it means that I''d have to add source to all
my classes, at which point they break on the few Linux hosts that I''ve
got (I don''t need to build packages for those at the moment).
I''m
also not sure whenever it will know where to fetch the dependencies
form. So it can be done this way, but it''s much more work I''d
expect
from something simple as changing the package server. If I could
somehow set PKGROOT globally across the entire site it would kick some
serious ass. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Rek

How about something like:
class pkgroot {
~ case $kernel {
~ linux: {}
~ default: { exec { "export PKGROOT=''blah''": } }
~ }
}
Then include the class where required.
Or:
node "blah" {
~ case $kernel {
~ linux: {}
~ default: { include pkgroot }
~ }
}
and
class pkgroot {
~ exec { "export PKGROOT=''blah''": }
}
Lots of different ways to skin that cat.

Hi Luke,> case $operatingsystem { > freebsd: { > Package { source => "/your/package/source" } > > } > }This doesn''t quite work on freebsd. As far as I know the source needs to be a full path to the package so if I set source => "http:// pkg.blah.net" I get the following error: err: //Node[mig]/rsync/Package[rsync]/ensure: change from absent to present failed: Execution of ''/usr/sbin/pkg_add http://pkg.blah.net'' returned 256: tar: Unrecognized archive format: Inappropriate file type or format tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors. pkg_add: unable to open table of contents file ''+CONTENTS'' - not a package? I also tired setting the source => "http://pkg.blah.net/pub/FreeBSD/ ports/$hardwaremodel/packages-$kernelrelease/Latest/$name". This has also failed: err: //Node[mig]/rsync/Package[rsync]/ensure: change from absent to present failed: Execution of ''/usr/sbin/pkg_add http://pkg.blah.net/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-7.0-RELEASE/Latest/'' returned 256: tar: Unrecognized archive format: Inappropriate file type or format tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors. pkg_add: unable to open table of contents file ''+CONTENTS'' - not a package? So it looks like setting the source won''t work, unless I set it explicitly in every package declaration... Normally, If I don''t set the source, puppet will install packages with pkg_add -r. By default this will fetch packages from ftp.freebsd.org unless a different server has been set in PACKAGEROOT. The handy thing about PACKAGEROOT is that all I need to give it is the root of the package server and, as long as the package repository is layout properly, freebsd will take care of fetching the right package for the right release/architecture. If I could somehow set PACKAGEROOT in the environment before pupet runs I would be sorted. Otherwise there seems to be no easy way to change the package server across the entire site on freebsd. Would it be possible to add this functionality to puppet in the future?

You can set this in the init script that runs Puppet. Just export PACKAGEROOT = your_package_root before you start Puppet.

Hi Paul,> You can set this in the init script that runs Puppet. Just export > PACKAGEROOT = your_package_root before you start Puppet.Yeah, that''s what puppet trac recommends, but it works only when puppet is run from rc, which is not always true in my case. I tried a number of things now and I think it''s best to set this in / etc/login.conf. I added PACKAGEROOT to setenv in the default login class: :setenv=MAIL=/var/mail/ $,BLOCKSIZE=K,FTP_PASSIVE_MODE=YES,PACKAGEROOT=http\c//pkg.blah.net:\ and rebuild the db: sudo cap_mkdb /etc/login.conf I also had to comment out a line in sudoers to preserve the package related variables: Defaults env_keep += "PKG_PATH PKG_DBDIR PKG_TMPDIR TMPDIR PACKAGEROOT PACKAGESITE PKGDIR" Now all users and daemons see the new package server, including puppet. Can I add this to the FreeBSD tips page on Trac?
